Excellent estimates, tons of experience and an honest person. I was very impressed with Al's quality work on the can lighting installation (no attic access). We definitely plan on hiring him again in the future. Look no further.

Andy did an outstanding and professional removal of old light fixtures and installation of new light fixtures for us. He was on time and very efficient. His work is meticulous. He cleaned up after himself and left my rooms in excellent condition. I couldn't ask for more. His price was fair, especially considering the quality of his work. He is our new go to electrician.

The technician was reliable, courteous, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and his results speak volumes.
If you're in the Chicago area, I highly recommend contracting Keith Lewis for any electrical installation work. Keith did a wonderful job!

Support a great small business. Jason was on time, very responsive and did a variety of quality work at a fair price. Very diverse skill set. Jason reconfigured and installed a light switch and outlet in our bathroom, converted a recessed light into a hanging fixture (including rewiring of the old fixture and installation to a high vaulted ceiling) and even removed a satellite dish and wiring before he left. He works with your schedule and is an excellent problem solver. We will use his company in the future.

It is my pleasure to recommend Josh Beyda based upon my experience when he wired my kitchen while having it remolded. His professionalism and expertise were outstanding, as he pointed out several issues/ improvements that needed attention. He was so detailed that he went above and beyond to point out other issues that my home had with its wiring in the attic. While he worked in my home, I felt safe and confident that he would stop at nothing to get the job done correctly and safely. Im forever thankful that I had someone like Josh to help me through what surly can be a stressful project. Not only would I recommend him to others, I would without a doubt choose him for any future work I need to have done in my home.

Paul responded quickly to my request via email. He was able to adjust his schedule & complete the installation the following day, which worked out well. He was a bit pricey but he is polite & did a good job. I would possibly consider him for other projects.

The goal was to get 6 next outlets installed ASAP and when I called ALBERT on a Friday afternoon, he was there by 5:30PM that night installing 6 brand new outlets. I am giving this business 5 stars for their friendly demeanor and excellent customer service. They installed everything in a timely manner. They are professional, on time and affordable! I have never received such great service from an electrician!

I chose Brian at LoPrestis Services after vetting several vendors and considering other outside estimates and I am glad that I did! He replaced an ancient water heater that had a busted drain valve, making a standard replacement even more difficult, but he worked quickly and thoroughly to complete the removal and installation. He even offered to pick up the new water heater from Home Depot as a courtesy saving me time and money.
The new heater works great! I strongly recommend choosing Brian for your project.

Everything about Hector was great. He gave me a great quote with a discount for multiple jobs (installation of two ceiling fans, two pendant lights, a wall outlet, and outside light fixture) - came by once to scope out the work, came at the agreed upon time, and worked straight through (4.5 hours) to do all the jobs without a break or anything. He was professional, communicative and consultative and good value. And his work quality is terrific - as was his desire to leave the working area in good shape after he was done. One of the best experiences I've ever had with a contractor.

James himself, the CEO of his company, personally came out to my house at 5:30pm to work out my home wifi problems. To say I was completely blown away by his professionalism, care and quality of work would be an understatement! You must use him for your work!

Curt was extremely nice when he came over to my house to install my ceiling fans. The whole time he was professional and allowed me to ask questions on things I didn't know. He did a great job and the fans work wonderfully!! I would hire Curt again without a question! Thanks, Sara

Joel did an excellent job installing our door. As a matter of fact while he was there we discussed having him do other projects around our home. I would highly recommend him to handle anyone's projects.

Dominick was incredibly professional, detail oriented and extremely thorough while installing 8 hardwired smoke detectors in my home. He was reasonable with his pricing yet made sure every device worked, cleaned up, and disposed of the old devices. My wife was comfortable with him in our home before I arrived late from work. He was a very nice and trustworthy young man. And he’s a veteran.
